There's more to coffee than pre-ground grocery store blends, and if you're ready to explore it, consider joining a Coffee CSA (Community Supported Agriculture.) The CoffeeCSA project connects coffee lovers around the globe with small-batch farmers who ship monthly batches of beans directly to them.

Buyers can also select specific farmers to support or types of coffee to buy through the program. If you like your coffee traceable, shade-grown, certified organic, and fair trade, CoffeeCSA can meet those needs. If you just want fresh coffee mailed to your door from farmers who grow it for a living, the service works just as well. Photo by Stirling Noyes.
